entrerix Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 yes please! Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Volourn Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Yes, he does. In the end, it depends which 'version' of Batman you refer to but Batman surely has killed in the past. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
HoonDing Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Comic-book Batman hasn't killed anyone since the 50s. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Ice9 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I can see him as a bitter old man sitting in a bar drinking and cursing the at the galaxy for never making hard choices. Everything was beautiful. Nothing hurt.
greylord Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Comic-book Batman hasn't killed anyone since the 50s. Which Comic book Batman? After Bruce Wayne had his back broken, I beleive the New Temp Batman killed a villain or two...was supposedly to have killed the Joker...but like all Super heroes...Super Villains always come back as well. Then there was the entire Batman shooting a gun incident...though it is explained that technically that was a clone of Bruce Wayne....and the Real Bruce Wayne being tossed back in time (when finally the REAL heir becomes Batman instead of some pretender like the last time Bruce was out of the picture). Sorry... Just being snarky... I know what you meant...and I suppose you're right. We'll Call Garrus modelled after the "MOVIE" batman...though technically that's more of...he doesn't really kill the villain...he just doesn't save them.
Amentep Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 The original embargo for Batman not killing was made in 1940 after Batman #1 featured Batman gunning down giant men (created by Hugo Strange) from his batplane. Editor Whitney Ellsworth put a stop to Batman killing (this was a shrewd move - there was already anti-violence in comics rumblings at that time anyhow - which is why National/DC hired William Moulton Marston to write testimonials on the positive effects of comics - which would ultimately lead to Wertham and the kefauver hearings...) That said I believe Batman traditionally took the pulp way out - the villain was killed by their own mechanizations at the end. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
HoonDing Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Last time a DC hero killed someone, was Wonder Woman in Infinite Crisis. She got spit out by Batman & Superman after that. In Marvel universe... probably Thor killing the Sentry. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Volourn Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 "Comic-book Batman hasn't killed anyone since the 50s." So... he has killed someone.... thank you. And, it seems to me that it's not Batman's 'morality' stopping him from killing again but real world morality police. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

WorstUsernameEver Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 "Comic-book Batman hasn't killed anyone since the 50s." So... he has killed someone.... thank you. Actually considering all the alternative-worlds mumbo jumbos and the thousands of "crisis" the DC universe has been through, I wouldn't be surprised if canon Batman hasn't killed anyone despite those issues in the 50s.

Tale Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 In Marvel universe... probably Thor killing the Sentry. About time! "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
HoonDing Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Cerberus first spends billions of credits to rebuild Shepard, then when the Reapers finally arrive decide to remove the last, best hope of humanity? Or will they only be hostile if SHepard blew up the Collector base? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Volourn Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 While it seems up front they'd go through that trouble for Shepard only to turn on him.. but, maybe, the plan was to use Sheaprd all along to get reaper tech. So, if youd ecided to keep the base they no longer need you and if you blow it up, he's pissed at you either chocie leading to him making you enemy #1.

HoonDing Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Guess there must be a Cannon of Reaper Slaying in the Collector base somewhere. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Guest Slinky Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 The combat is described as "more dynamic", forcing players to move quickly. "Game rhythm" is 10-15 per cent faster. Press A for awesome? Just kidding, if they get the movement little less clumsy from what it was is ME2, this might be a good thing. I just wonder how that heavy melee is going to fit in..
Volourn Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 So Miranda? No driving vechicles? A stupid melee class? A silly DLC tainted start? Bah. Other than thsoe things, sounds cool. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Oblarg Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I really, really don't like where they've taken the plot of the trilogy. It just seems that they never really extensively planned out the story arc beforehand and are scrambling to make something coherent, as the reapers, as they were introduced in the first game, were simply too powerful a foe to be plausibly defeated.
